Attn: Mr. Matthew Gordon,

Senior Director, Pipeline Operations
Sunoco Pipeline (Energy Transfer Partner)
525 Fritztown Road

Reading, PA 19608

Dear Mr. Gordon:

Thank you for your August 24 letter of response to our communication to Sunoco LP Chairman Matt Ramsey earlier last
month.

While we appreciate the efforts Sunoco Pipeline has undertaken to provide training to ?rst responders in the event of an
accident or emergency associated with your company?s pipeline operations, we ?nd it inexplicable that you did not respond to
the primary request of our letter.

We will assume that since you did not respond to our request to attend a county-hosted meeting to answer individual questions
and concerns from our constituents about pipeline safety that your company isn?t interested in addressing those individual
citizen questions and concerns.

At a time when your company is spending money on television and radio advertising to convince the public, as your letter
states, that "safety is (your) top priority at all times,? we ?nd it di?icult to understand why company representatives would not
want to participate in any such meetings that can be arranged with the public at large to detail all of the safety precautions that
the company has taken to prevent leaks, explosions and other emergencies from occurring in the ?rst place.

If you are sincerely interested in convincing the public that your pipeline Operations are as safe as safe can be, then we would
reSpectfully request, as the good corporate neighbor that we would expect you to be, that you reconsider and agree to attend a
public meeting hosted by the county for the purpose of granting the company the opportunity to detail safety measures and to
permit citizens to ask questions and voice any concerns.

Thank you again for your attention to this request.
